应对全球教育挑战：文化适应学习与教学设计模型的实践与反思

Meeting the Challenges of Global Education and Training:An Instru ctional Design Model and Toolkit

Instructors and training departments of international organizations are in dire need of a multicultural toolkit to help them keep pace with a rapidly evolving global marketplace. This study on cultural differences in learning aims to help instructors design culturally adaptive instructions using flexible and applicable models and tools. This study surveyed about 90 instructors and students (primarily in the US and China) who have worked or studied in cross-cultural environments. The results of the survey reveal similarities and differences between the U. S. and China in terms of the participants ' learning prriferences. Several other factors were found to influence learning preferences and perceptions ， including the participants ' country of origin and their role in the learning situation ( e. g. instructor or student). To implement culturally adaptive teaching， educators should raise their own awareness of cultural factors in learning， identify learner prriferences via effective survey tools ， and respond to both similarities and differences in students ' learning. Educators should also establish a dynamic perception of learning， better understand students ' attitudes and differences through systematic data collection， so as to continuously improve their design of instructional materials.
